Key Truth #3: I will not have a healthy fear of God until I recognize, repent of, and, by God’s grace, rid my life of the fear of man. And vice versa...I will continue to fear what man thinks until I learn to fear God. I cannot exactly remember when God began teaching me this truth, but early in my marriage I began learning (by God’s grace) to make decisions based upon my fear of God and not what man thinks. This has been one of those heart-transforming truths that continues to overflow into all facets of my life (every activity, thought, action, etc.). One book that heightened my awareness of this truth was Wayne Mack’s book entitled The Fear Factor. Jimmy and I had the privilege to attend his Sunday school class where he was teaching through this book.
